 | Chris Butler Are we just waiting for approval before we can enter this then, despite is supposedly starting today? |
 | Martin Hurst Yes, will extend the window to play these games until Friday as approval not granted as yet. Will learn the lesson and ask for approval for both qualifying and the main race at the same time for the future ones! Apologies for any inconvenience :) |

| Chris Butler No worries. Just a thought, is it possible for you to automatically enter everyone who qualified into the main race? Can't see any harm in it and I guess it would save you a job of accepting all the entries and save everyone else from needing to enter |
| Martin Hurst Yes - once approved, I'll add those from the top 20 in qualifying in order to make things easier to follow. |
 | Noel Mc Any movement? |
| Martin Hurst Not yet :( |
 | Matthew Tassier Perhaps add another round with dates Mon-Sun instead? The dates having expired on this one might be a problem otherwise. |
Tourney round: Formula One Large - Event 1 - Australia: Main Race
Notes from the organizer: Lockdown rules: The first number selected, highlighted in red, must be used in your solution. Note that the solution is still valid even if the red number leads to a "dead end"; for example, if 2 were the red number and 225 the target, 6-2=4, 3x75 = 225 would be a valid solution.
The top 20 in qualifying will be awarded additional actual race points as follows: 20 for 1st, 19 for 2nd, 18 for 3rd etc, all the way down to 1 point for 20th. These additional actual race points will then be added to your actual race score for a final total, which will determine the final grand prix standings (for example, if you qualify 1st and score 190 in the numbers attack in the actual race, your total will be 20 (for qualifying) + 190 (actual race score) = 210)
Points will then be allocated at the end of each grand prix the same way Formula 1 points are allocated: 1st place - 25 points; 2nd -18; 3rd - 15; 4th -12; 5th - 10; 6th - 8; 7th - 6; 8th - 4; 9th - 2; 10th – 1. The person with the highest number of accumulated points at the end of the season will be declared the champion!
You don’t have to finish in the top 20, or even participate at all, in qualifying to enter the actual race, but obviously you will be at a disadvantage as you won’t have any additional points to start with.
If you enter qualifying and you don’t take part in the actual race, you will be adjudged to have “crashed” in the race.
Additional race points earned in qualifying will be shared in the event of any ties. Ties in the actual race (after adding into account the additional race points earned from qualifying) will be determined firstly by points scored in the actual race alone, secondly by number of maxes in the actual race, thirdly by number of maxes in qualifying, and finally (unless it is a max game) by the lowest bot opponent score in the actual race. Positions (and grand prix points) will be shared if still a tie.
